Welcome to the list, Barb.  
I was just musing about Krum, actually.  I thought as you did that 
the R/H factor would be interesting and comic.  I'm a R/H shipper too.

The other part that I thought would be interesting was the 
Durmstrang/Slytherin connection.  Draco and Co. would be familiar 
with him as the Durmstrang crew took their meals at the Slytherin 
table for almost a year during the tournament.  I can just see 
them:  "Come on, Prof. Krum, show us some REAL Dark stuff, like you 
learned at your school!"  Unfortunately, we wouldn't get to see it, 
since Gryffindor and Slytherin don't have DADA together.  
Hmm...unless...with smaller post-OWL classes, maybe they combine the 
two.  Worth a thought.  

You are right that he doesn't have the experience, but DD is getting 
desperate to fill the position.  It was more of an off-hand thought 
than a full theory.  But it could be fun.  Too bad it makes Krum 
potential coffin-filler.
